I haven't gotten hooked to my glasses. They don't increase my heart rate, make me lose my apetite or affect my moods. Heck, I can't even sell my glasses in backalley on on college campus.

Stimulants help everybody when at the right dosage. Not just ADHD people. They carry risks though, so let's not judge either way. If you make informed decision to take em.... or not to take em.

As for managing ADHD without... it's individualized. Reminders, planners and routines are the golden standart though. And finding your way. Some find ADHD a gift once they leave rigid school environment and are able to work according how their brain works.
